A GLIMPSE OF THE

PREFACE. 



To business men, absorbed in their own concerns, 
and habitually engaged in a tread-mill round of 
duties, it is sometimes refreshing to extend the circle 
of thought and observation, and especially interest- ' 
ing is it to practical men, to survey the intricate and 
curious machinery by which the Ivorld is growing 
wiser, better and wealthier. So intent is the busi- 
ness man of to-day upon the pursuit of his oWn, 
that he scarcely knows how the gieat world is surg- 
ing on by his side. "With these ideas in his mini,* 
the compiler imagined that others might feel to some 
extent the same interest which he attaches to a faith- 
ful daguerreotyping of Old Hillsborough, in her so- 
cial, physical, educational and moral relations. How 
successfully it has been accomplished, in much haste, 
amid other pressing duties, is left with the clemency 
and just judgment of the public for decision.

OUR COUNTY .'—ITS ORIGIN AND PROGRESS. 
One hundred years ago the settlements in the ter^ 
ritory now known as Hillsborough were seaMily 
peopled, though some of them had been occupied by^ 
a few hardy settlers for a considerable length of 
timcj the first grants of land to individuals having 
been made two centuries since. The old township of 
Dunstable, comprising the present towns of Nashua^ 
Nashville, Ilollis, Hudson, Litchfield, and Merri- 
mackj were settled early j New Ipswich and Peter- 
borough, one century agOj were attractive settle- 
ments j Bedford and Amherst, known as Souhegan 
East and Souhegan West, with New Boston, and 
SocieEy Land, or the Masonian Proprietors' Lands, 
including Antrim, Hancock, Bennington, Deering, 
and parts of Francestown and Greenfield, complete 
^the list of the most prominent settlements. The 
population of this territory was but a moiety of the 
present numbers. 

Its soil is light and sterile, compared with the fer- 
tility of other sections of the country ; the southern 
portion is especially sandy and unproductive, a stint-?-^

ed pine being mainly the original growth ; the 
northern and western portions have generally a * 
stronger and deeper soil, of sandy loam, or clay, 
yielding with assiduous labor good crops of corn, po- 
tatoes, and most of the cereal grains. The north of 
the County is particularly adapted to the growth of 
Xyheat, and the south to the culture of rye. Much 
attention has recently been given, in the vicinity of 
large towns, to the cultivation of garden vegetables 
and fruit, and the production of milk, which is al- 
ready proving a source of much profit. The notion 
that the fruit market may be easily glutted is wear- 
ing away, as people are just beginning to discover its 
value and indispensable necessity as an article of 
food, and to learn that its present demand is but a 
tithe of what it will be when its price shall bo a 
trifle lower. 

Its rock is principally granite, of various textures ^ 
and qualities, some of it superior for building pur- 
poses. Its growth is various, consisting of several 
kinds of pine, oak and birch, with hemlock, spruce, 
maple, beech, chestnut, cedar, walnut, elm, ash, and 
a number of other less common kinds. 

Whatever poverty of soil Hillsborough may pos- 
sess, scarcely a County in the union can be richer in 
natural manufacturing resources. The Merrimack ^r, 
at Manchester alone, affords fticilities scarcely infe- 
rior to those at Lowell, Avhile at Goff 's Falls and 
other j)laces arc unoccupied privileges of more or 
less value. The Nashua runs 50,000 cotton spindles, 
Vfith much other machinery. The Souhcgan, flow- j 



niLLSBOKOUGH COUXTY. d 

ing from the south-Tre?tern border through the cen- 
tre of the County, has valuable pri"ileges at alniost 
every mile. The Contoocooiz turns many a mill in 
Peterborough, as Trell as in manufacturing villages 
in Merrimack County. The Piscataquog, rising in 
the centre of the County, makes itself useful in all 
its course through Xew Boston, GofFstown and Bed- 
ford. Xumerous tributaries of these main streams, 
cveryvrhere leaping from the hills, turn hundreds of 
wheels, and add to the general prosperity. There 
were in the County, in 1850, 379 manufacturing es- 
tablishments producing more than $500 each yearly. 
The value of factories and machinery was $3,680,- 
275 ; of mills and carding machines, $159,436. The 
importance of m-anufacttires may be gleaned from 
the fact that the population has increased more than 
33 per cent, in the last ten years, mainly through 
manufacturing ; and the value of landed estate in 
equal proportion. 

It may be interesting to note a few of the general 
statistics of valuation, based upon the official returns 
of 1852. The value of land is $12,500,599, equal 
to the government price of 10,000,471 acres of wild 
land, or 15,625 square miles, or a territory nearly 
twice as large as the whole State ; the value of 
horses, $352,144, 6,254 in number, averaging $56- 
4G each ; neat stock, $715,413, 31,507 in number, 
averaging $22 71 ; sheep, $37,042, 18,123 in num- 
ber, averaging $2 04 ; carriages, $37,700 ; corpo- 
ration stocks, $704,668 ; money taxed, $993,226 ; 
stock in trade, $1,342,068 ; locks and canals, $203,- 



6 HILLSBOROUGH COUXIY. 

1)00 ; total of inventories exclusive of railroad?, 
$23,709,611 ; railroad property, $1,582,509. Were 
this equally divided, each man, woman and child in 
the County would be taxed for S:435 — probably fully 
equal to the average for the whole United States, 

This County can boast many names distinguished 
in their country's history, names that have adorned 
the halls of State and shed glory upon the field, — 
such as Gen. Stark, the hero of Bennington — Gen. 
JVIiller, whose "I'll try, sir," is immortal — the valiant 
Mc'Neil — Matthew Thornton, a gigner of the Great 
Declaration — Franklin Pierce, our popular President, 
with many others that might be named. 



EDUCATION. 
Within the past ten years much has been done for 
the advancement of popular education in the County, 
A healthier public sentiment and a better apprecia- 
tion of the best means of improvement are now in 
existence ; better teachers are employed and better 
pay given ; school houses have been improved, and 
High Schools instituted. A High School house has 
just been finished in Nashua, in a rich style of archi- 
tecture, and in an admirable location, whieli will bo 
inferior, in no respect, to any school house in the 
State. Its cost is about $13,000. A good High 
School is in progress in Manchester, another in 



EBffCATtOX. 7 

XashTille ; and Amherst is abo\it to institute another. 
Also, Milford and Pelham. 

There are many good Academies and Select Schools^ 
which will be noticed under another head. Promi- 
nent among these, in value of instruction and ex- 
tent of patronage, are the Merrimack Normal In- 
stitute, the New Ipswich Appleton Academy, the 
Appleton Academy at Mont Yernon, and the Fran- 
-cstown Academy. 

Doubtless much is owed, likewise, to the Hills- 
borough County Teacher's Institute, formerly sus- 
tained by a distinct organization, but now managed 
by thfe County School Commissioner. The office of 
School Commissioner, when intrusted to suitable 
hands^ is a valuable auxiliary in the work of true 
educational progress. The present Commissioner is 
Rev. Solomon Laws, a gentleman well qualified to 
^ advance the interests of education. 

The report of the Board of Educatiou for 1853 
shows a general increase in the wages jDaid to teach- 
ers, and a larger proportion of female teachers em- 
ployed. During the past year eight school-houses 
were built in the County. In the schools of last 
winter were nearly as many female teachers as males 
— 1 82 females, 185 males. In the summer schools 
were only eight male teachers. Bedford, Frances- 
town, Gofi"stown, Hudson, Lyndeborough, Mont Ver- 
non, New Ipswich, New Boston, Weare, and Wilton, 
have local school funds, Weare the largest, amount- 
ing last year to S502l 23. Weare also contributed 
most in board and fuel. 3 1 g districts reported.

knr« [in tho New World, excepting only Lowell. 
Its population, now about 17,000, has grown up in 
about as many years. Once a locality of miserable 
Bterility, its real estate is now valued at millions. 
It is bounded about 9 miles by the IVlerrimack River, 
which in a distance of one mile furnishes a fall of 
54 feet, yielding water power sufficient to run sev-

The soil in this town is mostly a sandy loam. Tho 
Souhegan, running through it, furnishes excellent 
water power. This place is the present terminus of 
the Peterborough & Shirley Railroad. The railroad 
bridge near the terminus is one of the greatest works 
of art in Xew Hampshire, spanning a weary dis- 
tance from bluif to bluif, high above the swift waters 
of the Souhegan.

NASHUA. 

This town, called Dunstable till 1836, originally 
embraced a large territory. The present town of 
Xashua belonged to Massachusetts, till the division 
line was settled in 1741. Its soil is mostly light and 
sterile, and of little intrinsic value ; its wealth is 
derived almost wholly from extensive manufactures 
of various kinds, all of which have grown up in the 
past thirty years. No town in the State has a more 
varied range of manufactures, or is benefitted by a 
more productive industry. The power employed is 
both water and steam ; the Nashua Manufacturir>g 
Company's Mills, being operated by the water of the 
Nashua, which has a fall of 36 feet in about two 
miles. It is one of the pleasantest manufacturing 
villages in New England.

NASHVILLE. 

This town, situated mostly on the north side of th& 
Nashua river, was set oif from Nashua in 1842. It 
possesses a light soil, easily cultivated and susceptible 
of being made quite productive. The village abounds 
in eligible building spots, and contains many well 
situated and tasteful residences. The interests of 
this town are so interwoven with those of Nashua, 
that separate notices are almost impracticable. The 
Charitable Orders we have located in Nashua, be- 
cause the halls are there. The Union Athenaeum we 
have noted there, because its book depository is 
there, and most of its stock owned there. The Gas 
Light Company is managed in Nashua ; but the 
Pennichuck Water Co., we place in Nashville, 
though a large share of the stock is held in Nashua, 
as it owes its origin to the "Nashville Aqueduct Co."

A^EW IPSAICH. 

New Ipswich was early settled, and has always 
been noted for the industry, enterprise, intelligence 
and refinement of its people. This town sent sixty- 
five men to Bunker Hill. The soil is a clayey loam, 
quite productive compared with some portions of the 
County. The water is good, and water privileges 
are abundant and valuable, supplied mostly by the 
Souhegan. A cotton factory was put in operation 
here in 1803, probably the first in the State.

Xew Boston possesses a strong and fertile soil, on 
Tvhicli now stands few of the forest monarchs whose 
stalwart limbs have wrought out much of her pro- 
ductive wealth. The scenery of Xew Boston is 
varied and picturesque, jjartaking largely of the 
Alpine character, with rocks piled on rocks and hills 
on hills. There are two villages, the lower and 
principal cf which lies snugly embowered in a deep 
and narrow valley, through which the noisy Piscat- 
anua winds its way. Overlooking it, stands the res- 
pectable and matronly original, on a level and 
grassy niche in the steep hill side, from which a tall 
spire shoots sky- ward.

the productiveness of the land. Cotton manufiic-

AGRKAT INVKiNTION. 



PATEIV T SPIEAL SPRIMi BEDSTEAD 

Gets the uniform testimony of all who see it in 
favor of its 

UNDENIABLE SUPERIORITY. 

Prominent among its advantages, is the simplicity 
of its construction, and the ease with which it is ta- 
ken down. Tho proprietors oifer to show that it can 
be taken apart and put together again in sixty sec- 
onds. Tho rails are fastened to the posts by cast 
iron clamps screwed upon each, (altogether unlike 
the Putnam or any other bedstead,) which so inter- 
lock each other that a metal key dropped between 
them effectually confines tho posts and rails. The 
canvas that covers the springs is buttoned upon the 
side rails, andean be easily taken off. 

It is the most portable thing out. The ordinary 
bed either doubles not at all or only once ; the 
springs of this can be doubled to occupy a space six- 
inches deep by a foot in width. 

As a bed it ic improved. The springs are slight- 
ly elevated at the head, and are otherwise adapted 
to sustain equally and comfortably the weight of 
weary sleepers. Its elasticity is unsurpassed. 

Orders received at their Shop in Nashville,- 
OPPOSITE THE INDIAN HEAD HOUSE, 
and promptly attended to. 

No bed of their invention allowed to be manu- 
factured without the names of the proprietors, 
' MERRILL& TUPPEU," stamped upon it,
